My diets been shit, I feel Zion. Maybe we could motivate each other to eat less and get on track. 🤔

So I guess i'm the only one that a bit uncomfortable with how people talk about Zion's weight here and elsewhere. Not necessarily that people are talking about it, but how it's being talked about if that makes sense.
His weight is obviously used by many people to make fat jokes and it's obviously fairly weird to make fun of a kid who has a potential eating problem.
However, his weight is just so far above a normal player for his height that I think there's a strong reason to think it contributes to his frequent injuries with how much weight he is carrying around.
IMO, it's just a pro athlete thing, not fat shaming as a person, if that makes sense. His multimillion dollar job is to be fit.
Yeah I'm against fat shaming in general but when you're making tens of millions of dollars its kind of part of the job to stay in shape.
Zion is a great player when hes on the court but thats been the hard part for him and hes not helping himself by not being in the best shape. Still you have to make it work because theres no way you can trade him for a whole bunch of different reasons.

He is releasing higher up which means he short arms it less. Given how much time he is going to get on the perimeter I doubt he reverts.
I'm honestly glad that Rose chose the Knicks and Lakers didn't want to pay Caruso.
The skill level of big men is reaching just absurd levels.
Remember, Mobley and Sengun are teenagers, lol.
Warriors look scary good. I was a little down on them but I think they could actually come into the season pretty hot.
Those guys just had such battles and so many games for 6 years deep into the playoffs. Maybe only the 2014 spurs have we seen a championship level squad get back to those heights years later.
2011 Mavs but I think they just had Dirk and Jason Terry from the 06 team right?

Steph, Dray, Klay back (eventually), Andre back, Poole paying off the front office's trust, Bjelica and Otto Porter Jr look like really solid pickups, Wiggins a reliable option at SF, Looney healthy this year… this is a really good team. Slight concerns about being undersized or undermanned at C for certain matchups but overall I'm feeling better about this year than I was about last year's Warriors.
Once I noticed they traded away Caruso, KCP and Kuzma I knew they were going to be shit. Those were the only few players that alteast attempted to play defense and were there young legs as well. Lakers this year are much worse than 2004 lakers.....feel more like 2012 lakers (Nash, Dwight,Kobe).
Kuzma and KCP are like, barely above league average players. It's more a testament that Lebron can make them look good than it speaks to them as players.
GS waived Bell, Payton Jr, Mulder, and....Bradley who they had just signed.
And are keeping Chiozza? (who will probably get waived imo but he should've been the first name off the sheet)
I thought Bradley was going to be on the team due to them signing him in FA. Those bricked 3s maybe killed that
Iggy looked good, maybe a bit better than they were expecting.
Lee had a good preseason. Moody will get minutes
so maybe those two beat out the other guards, like I said before they don't need 20 guards. really doubt chiozza makes it
thought payton jr might've had a chance due to hustle.
Lin could've been for the win but now he's retired 😒
but yea they don't need more guards

On the one hand, I agree but on the other hand you had Fat Luka trending on Twitter because of one picture from a pre-season game.
Wanamaker is a brick wall. The Pacers are a team built with straw and silly putty.

preseason is over

Anyone here been watching Primo on the Spurs? People were really down on the Spurs picking him at 12 I think it was, but he has looked extremely skilled and poised out there especially for being just 18. I wonder how much time he'll actually spend in the G League this year.
Chiozza is on a two-way deal, so I imagine he'll be in Santa Cruz. Reading Slater on the athletic, sounds like GP2 might be signed again if he clears waivers, that way his deal won't be guaranteed until Jan so they can retain flexibility.
Dude's legit! He became an instant fan-favorite after that debut game.
